This news is just coming a 1hour the news about jeweler Cathy Calhoun
SPRING CITY — When jeweler Cathy Calhoun returned to the site of her old job, she found a gem: a building ripe for renovation. She's now taken the quirky former bank, where she worked as a teller in the 1970s, and turned it into a home that blends both history and modern luxury.The heart of the place is the vaults. Really, how many other people can boast vaults — ones that still had valuables inside?
The vault on the main floor of the 1872 building houses shiny safe-deposit boxes, some of which Calhoun has opened. "I still have 222 boxes to get drilled open. As I finish a project in the house, I'll allow myself to go through 50," says Calhoun. "That's my incentive to finish projects."
The paraphernalia found during restoration hangs on the walls of the vault, which she has turned into a gleaming bar, and some items are donated to local historical societies.
Downstairs there's another vault — this one was used for most of the cash, and bank and stock ledgers.
It's now Calhoun's sauna.
The door doesn't function but it sits, more than a foot thick, about halfway ajar.
When the bank was robbed in 1921, hostages were kept in the basement vault.
The smallest vault, which belonged to the head teller and is near the front door, is now an entertainment center.
